I don't mean to ask a noob question here, but will there be a flashable ROM of the MJ7 4.3 OS for those of us still on MDK with Loki recovery?
Seems like there are ODIN images, and ways to keep root for those on MI1, but nothing yet for those of us who actually give a **** and have avoided updating and have been waiting patiently for a solution w can use...?

Absolutely. The devs just need time to work on it. Nitro already has an alpha build. Data's broke but it'll get there.

My mom got my note 2 when I upgraded my phone so I haven't been keeping up with the updates that have came since I last had it. The bootloader is LJB with twrp 2.5.0.0 running clean rom 3.5 (MC3). wanna know what's the best way to get it up to date and keep root? Can't remember if the bootloader was fully unlocked or not on LJB so if someone can refresh my memory on that. I gotta be able to save her app data and restore it as well. Thanks in advance!

Well if you are on CleanRomMC3 then your bootloader is unlocked:good:
To get you up to date, which is MJ9 4.3, you need to first flash this:
Firmware Package
Then you can flash any 4.3 ROM.. If you are using that firmware package and want something like CleanRom, which is pretty much stock then use this thread.. Make sure to thank him bc he did provide the firmware as well...
Stock Deodex/Odex 4.3 MJ9
Thank you!

No...towelroot will NOT work for sch-i605 at all. Device is not supported. There is no root method that i am aware of at this point for us. I check in with xda everyday just hopping.:crying:

As of now guys we all are stuck with a locked and stock 4.4 sch-i605. When or if they find a method i dont know if knox would be a huge deal at that point. I rooted my wifes sch-i747 (att s3) and supersu disabled knox no problem. Seems that the devs may have moved on to other projects. Lets just hope SOMEONE gets around to our device. --waiting patiently--:angel:
Considering that Knox is the premier security program to be included on every Android L phone not just Samsung, I doubt the amount of time needed to circumvent is not worth the effort on the 605. Don't hold your breathe that we will ever get root.

the only thing you can do (and idk if everyone can do it) is to odin flash back to 4.3 (MJ9) and then root from there.
unfortunately that doesnt include a bootloader unlock. but then you can safestrap and install /any/ touchwiz rom

Can you confirm if you've actually been able to successfully do this? If you have, then this would be great news for those who want root, but took the OTA up to 4.4.2.

Yes, I did this myself on my phone before I switched out the motherboards.
From ND7, you can flash back to MJ9, and then you can root, and then use safestrap to install certain specific ROMs
I will edit this post if i find a link to a tutorial
Damn I downgraded from ND3, not ND7, my apologies.
Here is the Link anyway http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752360
I don't have a way to test if there is a way to downgrade.

Cool. Thanks for the confirmation. I knew you could go from ND3 back to MJ9, but I had read somewhere else where someone speculated that you couldn't revert back to MJ9 from ND7 due to the locked bootloader issue... I'm still on 4.1.2 with unlocked bootloader, so I can't test it either.
From what I gather 4.4.2 isn't user friendly when one is trying to use it for t-mobile. Why can't I Odin back to 4.3?

Bc when you took the 4.4.2 you flashed a new bootloader, therefore locking the phone and not being able to flash back to 4.3. Thats why there is a BIG STICKIE thread that says NOT to flash OTA's
Just a quick question, if I want to up grade to 17.1.2.A.0.314 using flastools will I lose my root on my z2? I downloaded a stock version of it off the xda forums, which is made for root. Also do I need to wipe my z2 or will it be fine without? Thanks for your help.
Nevermind I just went ahead with the process. For those who might be wondering, upgrading my firmware on my z2 did indeed wipe everything off the device and I had to re-root aswell as put on twrp again.
